This is platonic romance book that had some of the best character development I've read in a minute. I loved reading the different POV's and I totally cried at the ending. I have a soft spot for grumpy old men and I was immediately taken with Aruther, and totally understood Sloane. I loved the found family aspect and the strong sense of community that developed. And it all started at the library!

I love this book. The characters are wonderful. The lessons on life and death, love and friendship. It had me laughing all the way through. Then left me crying with no words for a proper review. I recommend it to everyone.

I listened to this as an audiobook , could not get into it . Too many miserable characters for my liking.

I had difficulty becoming interested in the characters. I actually felt very neutral about everyone and was not driven to finish the story because of that. Additionally, the first person POV shift 20% into the book was jarring.

I'm sorry I tried getting into this book. It's beyond ridiculous how this man treated people. Just couldn't deal with it.
